This big baby is a robust spicy, white peppery beauty. Solid woody notes with a nice undertone of roasted walnuts. The mouthfeel is thick and earthy as the smoke fills the palate.
The Brugs
A hazy golden color with nice sediment floating around which adds to the hazy look. It has a pleasant sweet-sour taste with some firm spice. The hops help to balance this ale. I enjoy the citrus profile.
The 6% abv makes it a good beer to enjoy a few.
The Pairing
A solid pairing, giving me a fuller mouthfeel. The cigar has a thick smoky feel on the tongue. The citrus and carbonation of the ale helps to battle the bold flavors of this big cigar.
